#Travel record Enjoy the private space of Shiobara Onsen at the inn "Kyuan Iida". A hidden inn that takes pride in its cuisine and only accepts two groups per day. All rooms have an open-air bath and a private dining room. Both the indoor and outdoor baths are from the source of "Shiobara Hinode Onsen", an alkaline simple hot spring with beautiful skin. The thick water moisturizes the skin and warms the body from the core. It relieves daily fatigue and makes your skin and hair smooth and shiny. The food is a Japanese-style banquet. It is a beautiful and flavorful Japanese dish that makes the most of the seasonal ingredients that are unique to a Japanese-style inn. Each dish was very elaborate and I was very satisfied. The tableware and dining room arrangement also reflect the policy of "Wazen Iida" in Nihonbashi Ningyocho, which values ​​harmony and inherits Japanese traditions. I have visited twice and have been very satisfied with the hot water and food. Thank you very much. ✧⋄ ⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Spot information 📍You can receive chiropractic and acupuncture treatments in your room Reservation required For details, please check the website 📍About 20 minutes by car from Nasu-Shiobara Station #Tochigi#Nasu-Shiobara #Hot springs #Gourmet #Domestic travel #Luxury accommodation #Girls trip

I took advantage of the nationwide travel support and stayed at Shionoyu Onsen Rengetsu❣️ A little less than 40 minutes by free shuttle bus from Nasu-Shiobara Station on the Shinkansen line, and checked in to this inn in the mountains on a special trolley! The steep descent was like an attraction and really got me excited about my trip♪ The hotel is new, so the facilities and specifications are modern. You have to carry your luggage yourself, and there is no stiff greeting from the landlady (this is a good thing, including during meals), and the young staff only give the bare minimum of guidance, without excessive service. Perhaps because check-in is in two shifts, the building and baths were not too crowded considering the number of rooms, so I was able to use them at my own pace. The breakfast and lobby were both nicely empty, probably due to the shifting hours, so I was able to spend my time there without any stress. The fact that the room had a coffee mill was also a plus😍 One of the joys of traveling is spending time differently than you normally would✨ And above all, this time I was on a last minute trip with the National Travel Support, and used a package tour with JR, so I ended up staying for about 10,000 yen, so I almost felt bad💦 #Accommodation #Hotspring #Hotspringryokan #Nasu-Shiobara #Roomwithopen-airbath #NationalTravelSupport #NewOpening #Staycation Address: 1340-3 Shiobara Shionoyu, Nasu-Shiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture, 329-2921 Atmosphere/Facilities: Casual and smart Recommended points: All rooms have open-air baths Average price: ¥30,000 (normal price for 2 people per room) Rating: Google review 4.3

A stylish building NOTE NASU, where you can reach by walking through the comfortable forest of Nasu Kogen with its crimson-colored forest, clear air, and chirping birds. With a sophisticated interior and a view of the forest of Nasu Kogen outside the window, you can feel the forest of Nasu Kogen even from inside your room. You can enjoy breakfast made with seasonal local ingredients at your favorite spot while looking at the forest. The breakfast, packed in a lovely picnic box, not only looked good, but also smelled so good that I couldn't help but get hungry the moment I opened it, and I was extremely happy from the morning. Dinner was also full of fragrant meals. The theme was camping indoors 🏕. With the concept of being able to relax and enjoy yourself, the carefully selected dishes made with seasonal vegetables, local rice and meat were served, and I felt tipsy and in the best mood. #Accommodation #Autumn leaves #Gourmet trip #Art hotel #Luxury hotel

I went to see the autumn leaves at the Beni no Suspension Bridge in Nasu-Shiobara! 😉 This day in early November was the best time to see them🙌🏻 The combination of the bright red autumn leaves, the beautiful river, and the clear autumn weather was perfect... Be careful of the parking lot, as many people visit by car! It's crowded, so if you're not at the right time, it's hard to find a parking spot. Please check the surrounding parking lots before you go! The best time to see them may have passed now, but please check them out when the autumn leaves are almost over or next year when the leaves are falling! 🍂 📍Beni no Suspension Bridge 〒329-2921 Shiobara-aza Furumachi, Nasu-Shiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture Thank you for reading to the end🙆‍♀️ I plan to post travel information and recommended spots both in Japan and abroad, so please follow me if you like! #AutumnLeaves #AutumnTrip #NasuShiobara #Nasu #TochigiTrip #Tochigi #AutumnLeavesSpots #RecommendedAutumnSpots #AmazingViews #AutumnLeavesAndRivers

I went to "1988 CAFE SHOZO", the starting point of SHOZO street, a trending new spot in Nasu-Shiobara 😋☕️ This is the main store of a famous cafe that also has a shop in Tokyo. As the name suggests, it started in 1988 when Shozo-san opened a cafe on the second floor of an apartment here, and it is said that it came to be called SHOZO street because the increasing number of immigrants in recent years have started stylish restaurants and general stores. The interior of the store seems to be divided into several design themes, and we sat in an area lined with colorful furniture. There is also another area with a chic atmosphere based on brown. The scones were delicious! 📍6-6 Takasago-cho, Nasu-Shiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture #cafe #Nasu-Shiobara #trip2022

We went to SHOZO Street, a new spot in Nasu where stylish shops gather! This is a fashionable area close to Kuroiso Station, with nearly 20 stores, including cafes, general stores, and flower shops. Chus, shown in the first photo, is like a market with carefully selected souvenirs from Nasu. When we bought a soft, gaufrette-like sweet called "Butter's Cousin" as a souvenir, everyone in the family praised it highly! It seems to sell out quickly, and we regretted not buying more when we got home...💦 It was a spot packed with points that girls will love, such as stylish furniture stores, the wonderful flower shop "DEAR, FOLKS & FLOWERS" and "1988 CAFE SHOZO"♫ 📍6-3 Takasago-cho, Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture #Girls' trip #Nasushiobara #trip2022

I went to Nasu Garden Outlet in the resort area of ​​Nasu-Shiobara. It wasn't too crowded because it was the off-season, so I was able to enjoy shopping at my own pace.🌟 The impression is that the tenants are more common shops than international high-end brands. There are a lot of fashion stores. It's also recommended for those with dogs, as there are pet supply stores, a dog run, and a dog cafe.🐶 📍 184-7 Shionozaki, Nasu-Shiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture (formerly Shionozaki 184-7, Kuroiso City) #Outlet #Nasu-Shiobara #trip2022

Japan's largest! A huge foot bath with a total length of 60 meters♨️ The foot bath corridor is divided into "hot" and "warm" on the left and right, so you can enjoy it at your preferred temperature. Even though it is indoors, it is open with windows all over! It has a roof, so it is also recommended for sightseeing on rainy days! There are no towel rentals, so we recommend bringing your own. If you don't have one, you can purchase a towel with the logo on site. 📍602-1 Shiobara, Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture #footbath #Nasushiobara #hotspring #Tochigitrip #rainydayspot #trip2022

"N's YARD" is an art museum in Nasu-Shiobara where you can enjoy the world of Yoshitomo Nara. You can take photos everywhere except the shop.

Otome Falls in Nasu-Shiobara, Tochigi⭐️ A 10-meter waterfall on the Sawana River, its beauty can be enjoyed in various ways depending on the water volume and season😉 There are various theories about the origin of the name, but one that makes sense is that the gentle, beautiful flow of the waterfall looks like a maiden's hair😘 The promenade leading down to the waterfall is also full of negative ions, and it's a recommended place to refresh yourself while soothed by the sound of the water, the sunlight filtering through the trees, and the pleasant breeze🌱🌱🌱 Natural mist showers near the waterfall make it very cool💕 It's said to be very beautiful during the autumn leaves season, so please come🍁 #Tochigi #Nasu-Shiobara #Otome Falls #Waterfall Tour #Secret Summer Resort #Forest Bathing #Summer Trip #Japan Genki Project #Couple Trip #Amazing Nature #Summer Trip #Breathtaking View

This time on my trip to Nasu, I was taken care of by "Shofuro Matsuya"✨ The hospitality of the staff was the best. It was really wonderful. The breakfast was also very delicious😋 The open-air bath, which I hadn't used in a long time, was also very pleasant I ended up taking a long bath♫ Unfortunately I couldn't get one this time, but I heard there are rooms with open-air baths. I'd like to take revenge next time💪🏻 Access📝 📮: 168 Shiobara, Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture, 329-2921 #JapanGenkiProject2021 #SummerShortTrip #SecretSummerResort #NasuShiobara #Gourmet #CoolTravelExperience #SummerShortTrip#BreathtakingView#GourmetTrip

#TokyoAttractions I recently went to the Yoshitomo Nara Private Art Museum in Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It is really worth sharing! 📍Although the location is a bit remote, you can still get there in about 2.5 hours by taking the JR Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo and then taking a bus. After arriving at Nasushiobara Station, take the Itamuro Onsen Bus and get off at Aoki Besso-mae. It is then a 7-minute walk away! 🏛 The art museum is not very big, but there are so many exhibits, and I feel very satisfied after visiting it. There are also 5-meter-high sculptures outside the museum, which create a great atmosphere for taking photos. ☕ When you are tired of shopping, you must go to a cafe to sit down. I ordered a set meal of matcha and snacks, which only cost ¥1100, and I can choose my own matcha bowl, each one is super cute! But please note that the cafe only accepts cash. 🎁 The goods shop in the museum is also amazing, with clothes, cups, posters and other peripherals. It is a fan paradise! 📌Visiting information has also been sorted out for everyone: adult ticket/student ticket ¥1500; business hours are 10:00-17:00, 16:30 is the last admission time, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In addition, the use of flash photography and tripods is prohibited in the museum. In short, if you also like Yoshitomo Nara, don't miss this place! You will definitely get an unforgettable art holiday experience~
